Effect of Vitamin D treatment on Interleukin-2 and Interleukin-4 Genes expression in Multiple Sclerosis
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of central nervous system. The etiology of MS is slightly known, but genetic and environmental factors are reported. Vitamin D regulates gene expression and affects target cell functions. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression variation of IL-2 and IL-4 genes under vitamin D supplementation in patients with mult...
متن کاملP-77: Follicular Fluid Concentrations of Interleukin-6, Interleukin-8, TNF-α and Interleukin 10 in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Women
a:4:{s:10:"Background";s:504:"While the etiology of PCOS has continued to remain a mystery, there can be found some evidence in support of the presence of chronic low-grade inflammation in women with this syndrome. One of the most significant manifestations of chronic inflammation is Pro-inflammatory cytokines. Therefore, the aim of this prospective study was to investigate the pattern of proinfla...
متن کاملMolecular regulation of human interleukin 2 and T-cell function by interleukin 4.
Distinct functional T-cell subsets, differing in the patterns of lymphokines produced, regulate cell-mediated and humoral immune responses. The two major types and their principal products, interleukin 4 and interferon gamma (IL-4 and IFN-gamma), are reciprocally negatively interactive. To analyze the molecular mechanism of IL-4-mediated suppression of cell-mediated immunity we studied its effe...
متن کاملEssential role of the interleukin 2-interleukin 2 receptor pathway in thymocyte maturation in vivo
The role of the IL-2-IL-2-R pathway in thymocyte differentiation in vivo is unknown. We have examined fetal thymocyte development in vivo, under conditions where all IL-2-R were saturated from day 13 of gestation with anti-IL-2-R mAbs that were previously shown to render mature T cells unable to respond to IL-2. This produced a dramatic change in the composition of developing T cells: thymocyte...
متن کاملRegulation of interleukin 2-dependent growth responses by glycosylphosphatidylinositol molecules.
The molecular mechanism of signal transduction through the interleukin 2 (IL-2) receptor remains an enigma. Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) lipids were investigated as one component of this process. IL-2 stimulated the rapid (30 sec) loss of greater than 50% of GPI in the IL-2-dependent T-cell line CTLL-2. Half-maximal GPI loss was detected at 40 pM IL-2, coincident with the EC50 (20 pM) for...
